I'll have to look one out as that's the sort thing I do as well.

But I'd imagine all 'our' £20 notes up here will still cease to be legal tender (seeing how the Scottish notes are not recognised as legal tender anywhere but are accepted in all of Scotland). We have three different Banks that print and issue the Scottish pounds. We have 5 different versions of them purple notes (£20) floating about up here (well actually 7 if one counts the 2 English ones in circulation too) - 2 versions from the Bank of Scotland, 2 versions from the Clydesdale and 1 from the Royal Bank of Scotland. Supposedly all the branches of the Scots Banks in England are not allowed to dispense Scottish notes in English cash machines.

But it's kind of ironic that a famous Scots will be replacing a very famous Englishman on the legal English £20 note.
